Matthew 27
1 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
Mgbe chi bọrọ, ndịisi nchụaja niile na ndị okenye gbara izu megide Jisọs otu ha ga-esi gbuo ya.
2 and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him to Pilate, the governor.
Ya mere, ha kere ya agbụ, duru ya pụọ, nyefee ya nʼaka Pailet onye bụ gọvanọ.
3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Mgbe Judas, onye ahụ rara Jisọs nye, hụrụ na a maala Jisọs ikpe ọnwụ, o chegharịrị weghachikwara ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye iri ego ọlaọcha atọ ahụ.
4 saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."
Ọ kwuru sị, “Emehiela m, site na ịrara onye aka ya dị ọcha nye ọnwụ.” Ma ha sịrị, “Nke ahụ agbasaghị anyị, ọ bụ mkpa dịrị gị.”
5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.
Ọ wụsara ego ọlaọcha ahụ nʼala ụlọnsọ, pụọ gaa kwụọ ụdọ.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood."
Ndịisi nchụaja tụtụkọtara ego ahụ kwuo sị, “O megidere iwu itinye ego a nʼime ụlọakụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ ego ọbara.”
7 They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in.
Mgbe ha gbasịrị izu, ha kwekọtara ma were ego ahụ zụta ala nʼaka otu ọkpụ ite. Ha mere ala ahụ ka ọ bụrụ ebe a na-eli ndị ọbịa.
8 Therefore that field was called "The Field of Blood" to this day.
Nke a mere e ji na-akpọ ala ahụ, “Ala Ọbara,” ruo taa.
9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, okwu e kwuru site nʼọnụ Jeremaya onye amụma mezuru. “Ha tụtụkọtara mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha iri atọ, bụ ọnụahịa onye ahụ, nke ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ Izrel kpebiri na a ga-akwụ nʼisi ya.
10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."
Ha ji ego ahụ zụọ ubi onye ọkpụ ite, dị ka Onyenwe anyị nyere m iwu.”
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "You say so."
Nʼoge a Jisọs guzo nʼihu gọvanọ. Gọvanọ jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụ eze ndị Juu?” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Gị onwe gị kwuru ya.”
12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Mgbe ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye boro ya ebubo ụgha, o kwughị ihe ọbụla.
13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"
Ya mere, Pailet sịrị ya, “Ị naghị anụ ihe ndị a niile ha na-ebo gị?”
14 He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
Ma ọ zaghị ọ bụladị otu mkpụrụ okwu nʼebubo ndị ahụ. Ihe a gbagwojuru gọvanọ anya nke ukwuu.
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner, whom they desired.
Ugbu a, ọ bụ omenaala gọvanọ nʼoge mmemme na ọ ga-ahapụ otu onye mkpọrọ, bụ onye igwe mmadụ họọrọ.
16 They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Ma nʼoge a e nwere otu onye mkpọrọ nke ọtụtụ mmadụ maara nke ọma. A na-akpọ Jisọs Barabas.
17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?"
Mgbe igwe mmadụ niile zukọrọ, Pailet sịrị ha, “Onye ka unu chọrọ ka m hapụrụ unu, ọ bụ Jisọs Barabas ka ọ bụ Jisọs onye a na-akpọ Kraịst?”
18 For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
Nʼihi na ọ maara nke ọma na ọ bụ site nʼekworo ka ha ji rara Jisọs nye nʼaka ya.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
Mgbe ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu oche ikpe ya, nwunye ya zitere ozi sị ya, “Wepụkwa aka gị nʼihe gbasara nwoke onye ezi omume ahụ. Nʼihi na ahụjuru m anya na nrọ nʼabalị gara aga nʼihi ya.”
20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Ma ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye kwagidere igwe mmadụ ahụ ka ha rịọ ya, ka ọ hapụrụ ha Barabas, ma nye ha Jisọs ka ha gbuo ya.
21 But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas."
Ọzọkwa, gọvanọ sịrị ha, “Nʼime mmadụ abụọ ndị a onye ka unu chọrọ ka m hapụrụ unu?” Ha sịrị, “Barabas!”
22 Pilate said to them, "What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."
Pailet sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka m ga-eme Jisọs onye a na-akpọ Kraịst?” Ha niile sịrị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
23 But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified."
Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị? Olee ihe ọjọọ o mere?” Ma ha tiri mkpu karịa ka ha si eti na mbụ, na-asị, “Kpọgide ya nʼobe! Kpọgide ya nʼobe!”
24 So Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, took water and he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. You see to it."
Mgbe Pailet hụrụ na o nweghị ihe ọ pụrụ ime, kama na ụzụ na ọgbaaghara na-amalite. O weere mmiri kwọọ aka ya nʼihu igwe mmadụ ahụ sị ha, “Aka m dị ọcha nʼebe ọbara nwoke a dị. Jirinụ aka unu hụ maka ya.”
25 All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children."
Igwe mmadụ ahụ zaghachiri ya nʼotu olu sị, “Ka ọbara ya dị nʼisi anyị na nʼisi ụmụ anyị!”
26 Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
Mgbe ahụ ọ hapụụrụ ha Barabas. Mgbe ọ pịachara Jisọs ihe, ọ raara ya nye ka ha kpọgide ya nʼobe.
27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
Mgbe ahụ ndị agha gọvanọ duuru Jisọs baa nʼogige ụlọ ndị agha, mee ka otu ndị agha niile gbaa ya gburugburu.
28 They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
Ha yipụrụ ya uwe ya, yinye ya uwe mwụda na-acha uhie uhie.
29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Greetings, King of the Jews."
Ha kpara okpueze nke e ji ogwu mee, kpukwasị ya nʼisi. Ha tinyekwara ya mkpara achara nʼaka nri, gbuo ikpere nʼala nʼihu ya, na-akwa ya emo na-asị, “Ekele, Eze ndị Juu!”
30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
Ha gbụrụ ya ọnụ mmiri asọ, werekwa osisi ahụ kụọ ya nʼisi ọtụtụ mgbe.
31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
Mgbe ha ji ya mechaa ihe ọchị, ha yipụrụ ya uwe ahụ, yinyekwa ya uwe nke ya, duuru ya pụọ, ịga kpọgide ya nʼobe.
32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
Mgbe ha na-apụ, ha zutere otu nwoke onye obodo Sirini a na-akpọ Saimọn. Ha manyere ya ka o buru obe ya.
33 They came to a place called "Golgotha," that is to say, "The place of a skull."
Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼebe a na-akpọ Gọlgọta (nke pụtara, “ebe okpokoro isi”).
34 They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
Ha nyere ya mmanya a gwara ọgwụ ilu ka ọ ṅụọ. Mgbe o detụrụ ya ire, o kweghị ya ọṅụṅụ.
35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among themselves, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.'
Mgbe ha kpọgidechara ya nʼelu obe. Ha fere nza nke ha jiri kee uwe ya nʼetiti onwe ha.
36 And they sat and watched him there.
Ha nọdụkwara ala nʼebe ahụ na-eche ya nche.
37 They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
Nʼelu ebe isi ya dị, ka ha debere ihe ha dekwasịrị ebubo ha boro ya. Nke a bụ ihe ha dere: Onye a bụ Jisọs, Eze ndị Juu.
38 Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
Ha kpọgidekwara ya na ndị ohi abụọ nʼobe. Otu onye nʼaka nri, onye nke ọzọ nʼaka ekpe ya.
39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
Ndị na-agafe nʼụzọ na-ekwutọ ya, na-efufekwa isi ha,
40 and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."
na-asịkwa, “Leenụ onye nwere ike ịkwatu ụlọnsọ Chineke wughachi ya na mkpụrụ ụbọchị atọ! Zọpụtanụ onwe gị! Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke si nʼelu obe ahụ rịdata!”
41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, and the elders, said,
Ndịisi nchụaja, ndị ozizi iwu na ndị okenye sokwa na-eme ya ihe ọchị, na-asị,
42 "He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
“Ọ zọpụtara ndị ọzọ, ma o nweghị ike ịzọpụta onwe ya. Ọ bụ eze ndị Izrel; ya si nʼelu obe rịdata ugbu a, anyị ga-ekwerekwa na ya.
43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
Ọ tụkwasịrị Chineke obi, ọ bụrụ na ọ masịrị Chineke, ya napụta ya ugbua, nʼihi na o kwuru sị, ‘Abụ m Ọkpara Chineke.’”
44 The robbers also who were crucified with him insulted him in the same way.
Ọ bụladị ndị ohi ahụ a kpọgidekọrọ ha na ya nʼobe nọkwa na-akparị ya.
45 Now from noon until three in the afternoon there was darkness over all the land.
Ma site nʼelekere iri na abụọ nke ehihie ruo nʼelekere atọ nke ehihie, ọchịchịrị gbachikọtara nʼala ahụ niile.
46 Then at about three in the afternoon Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema shabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Nʼoge dị ka elekere atọ nke ehihie, Jisọs tiri mkpu nʼoke olu sị, “Elọi, Elọi, lama sabaktani?” (nke pụtara, “Chineke m, Chineke m, gịnị mere i jiri hapụ m?”).
47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."
Mgbe ụfọdụ ndị guzo nʼebe ahụ nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị, “Ọ na-akpọ Ịlaịja.”
48 Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
Nʼotu oge ahụ kwa otu onye nʼime ha gbaara ọsọ were ogbo denye ya na mmanya gbara ụka, fanye ya nʼosisi, welie ya elu, chee ya ka ọ ṅụọ.
49 The rest said, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."
Ma ndị ọzọ sịrị, “Hapụnụ, ka anyị lee ma Ịlaịja ọ ga-abịa ịzọpụta ya.”
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
Ọzọkwa, Jisọs jiri oke olu tie mkpu, kubie ume.
51 And look, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
Nʼotu ntabi anya ahụ kwa, akwa mgbochi nke ụlọnsọ ahụ gbawara site nʼelu ruo nʼala. Ala makwara jijiji. Nkume tiwasịkwara.
52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
Ala ili meghere. A hụrụ ọtụtụ ndị nsọ, ndị nwụrụ anwụ, ka e mere ka ha si nʼọnwụ bilie.
53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
Mgbe ha sitere nʼọnwụ bilie, ha hapụrụ ili ha banye nʼime obodo nsọ, gosikwa ọtụtụ mmadụ onwe ha.
54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."
Mgbe ọchịagha, na ndị ya ha nọ nʼebe ahụ na-eche Jisọs nche hụrụ ala ọma jijiji a, na ihe niile mere, ha tụrụ oke egwu. Ha kwuru sị, “Nʼezie, nwoke a bụ Ọkpara Chineke!”
55 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
Ọtụtụ ụmụ nwanyị nọ nʼebe ahụ, ndị guzo nʼebe dị anya na-ele ihe na-eme. Ha si Galili soro Jisọs, na-ejere ya ozi.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Nʼime ha bụ Meri Magdalin, na Meri nne Jemis na Josef, na nne ụmụ Zebedi.
57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus' disciple came.
Mgbe o ruru anyasị, otu onye ọgaranya si Arimatia aha ya bụ Josef. Onye ya onwe ya bụkwa onye na-eso ụzọ Jisọs,
58 This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that it be released.
jekwuuru Pailet rịọọ ya ka e bunye ya ozu Jisọs. Pailet nyere iwu ka e bunye ya ozu ahụ.
59 Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Josef buuru ozu ya, were ezi akwa ọcha linin na-enwu enwu fụchie ya,
60 and placed it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
ma gaa lie ya nʼili ọhụrụ nke o gwuuru onwe ya, nʼetiti nkume. O jikwa otu nkume buru ibu kpuchie ọnụ ụzọ ili ahụ, hapụ ya laa.
61 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
Meri Magdalin na Meri nke ọzọ nọ na-ebe ahụ, ha nọdụrụ ala na ncherita ihu ili ahụ.
62 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
Nʼechi ya, nke bụ ụbọchị na-eso ụbọchị Nkwadebe, ndịisi nchụaja na ndị Farisii zukọrọ jekwuru Pailet.
63 saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'
Ha kwuru sị, “Nna anyị ukwu, anyị na-echeta na mgbe onye ụgha ahụ dị ndụ, ọ sịrị na ya ga-esi nʼọnwụ bilie mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị.
64 Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
Ya mere, nye iwu ka ndị agha gị na-eche ili ya nche, ruo mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị. Nke a ga-egbochi ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ịga zuru ozu ya. Ka ha ghara ị sịkwa ndị mmadụ na o sitela nʼọnwụ bilie. Ọ bụrụ na ha agha ụgha dị otu a, ọ ga-ajọrọ anyị njọ mgbe ahụ karịa na mbụ.”
65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can."
Pailet gwara ha sị, “Unu nwere otu ndị agha na-eche nche, kpọrọnụ ha gaa mechisie ili ahụ ike dị ka unu si maara eme.”
66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
Ya mere, ha kpọrọ ndị agha gaa mechizie ọnụ ili ahụ. Ha kakwara akara nʼelu nkume ahụ.
